Care to elaborate what model you had (bike/groupset) and what problems you had?
Thanks
Thanks
Heh... Wireless brakes. What could go wrong?

I think he was joking. Because like you imply... wireless could never fail, so what could go wrong.FIJIGabe wrote:Heh... Wireless brakes. What could go wrong?

I can just imagine the threads. "I hit the brakes and nothing happened. Then, all of a sudden, the brakes grabbed hold and flung me off the bike!"

"It did all the queued braking at the same time"
I now have a flat spot on both rims, and my face/elbows.

Or just leave it at “... but nothing happened”. The day manufacturers put wireless brakes on bikes is when I say “Ok folks, wireless simply doesn’t fail, ever”. Because that’s the kind of confidence manufacturers would need for wireless brakes. Until then... shit happens. No one’s going to get hurt if your shifters stop working.
Ha, I just got what @mattr was talking about re the “queued” braking.

They use brake by wire in F1 and it seems to work pretty well. As said above the brake feel would be much different and would take quite a bit of work to make it feel natural. Still a really cool concept and kinda the best of both worlds, no complex hoses and bleeding but awesome braking.

One thing that brake by wire requires that F1 cars have and bikes don't.
A power source, quite a large one, one that is continually topped up.
Vacuum pumps in conventional cars, hydraulic reservoirs and generators in other applications.
No ones yet come up with a more effective power source than a hand when you are talking about bike brakes.

Erm, I don’t believe there’s brake by wire in F1 (as far as I’m aware) as you’re describing it, all of the brakes are physically connected to the pedal via hydraulic lines as per any other car, the “by wire” bit merely bleeds off braking force to control rear wheel retardation due to the differences caused by hybrid systems/engine braking. I can’t ever see the day when brakes don’t have a physical connection on any bike/motor vehicle.
I thought it was true bbw as the FIA made a ruleling on where hydraulic hoses can and cannot be due to teams having front-rear interconnected suspension via hydraulics. Who knows. Cool concept. maybe we'll see it some day maybe we won't.Monkeyfudger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 3:55 pmErm, I don’t believe there’s brake by wire in F1 (as far as I’m aware) as you’re describing it, all of the brakes are physically connected to the pedal via hydraulic lines as per any other car, the “by wire” bit merely bleeds off braking force to control rear wheel retardation due to the differences caused by hybrid systems/engine braking.
